Thrown Weapons


Rules Discussion


Hello All,

Before I get Forum Murdered, know that I have been googling the answer but I still dont understand.

Ok here is the situation

I have a character with the Throw Anything Feat, he has a strength of 17 (ability Score)

How far can he throw a 4lb Iron Pot and what damage does it do?

Also, how did you calculate that? So I know how to calculate for future random items...

I would think such an item falls under the rules for Improvised Weapons.

Work with your GM to establish a range of damage types and traits.

4 lbs is probably the equivalent of 1 Bulk, so I'd personally treat it like a Club, with the same 10 ft. range increment.

You are in the pathfinder 2 forum asking a pathfinder 1 question... So I'll flag this to get moved.

As to the question, damage is up to the DM but a bucket or frying pan is listed under a typical item that would be a light improvised weapon doing 1d4 damage. Range is 10', though there are expanded options for improvised weapons that does allow disc shaped improvised weapons to go 20', Adventurer's armory 2, page# 21.

Adventurer's armory 2, page# 23
"TYPICAL IMPROVISED WEAPONS
